Or my all time favorite annoyance, the publisher who puts a blank line between each paragraph. Nah, no way they could set the paragraph CSS to give a bit of blank space, just too much like work. <end of attempt to be on topic for the thread>
The scan/OCR errors in old books that needed to be scanned since there was no electronic edition in those ancient times are not as annoying to me. I do think the publisher should have spent a bit more time on proofreading but at least I now have an ebook. Misspelling and misuse -- how many time have you seen your where you're was meant? -- are more annoying. Where is the blue pencilled Throop when you need him?
